Gaslight

So, as some may know, I love classic movies and books, alike. So, now that I have additional tv channels, I have enjoyed catching some classic movies. I caught Gaslight in its entirety. I have seen it before, but I forgot how much I loved it. Ingrid Bergman is in this movie, as well as the debut of one of my favorite stars, Angela Lansbury. She was 19 at the time.

If you like black and white movies, and you see Gaslight coming on, just give it a try. It's such a good movie. Ingrid Bergman won an Oscar for her very believable performance. Since I recently had to explain who Ingrid Bergman is, she was also in Casablanca. I was at a loss when I had to explain what Casablanca is.

The funny thing is that the premise for Gaslight is the premise for 1/4 of the Lifetime movies available. 80). Maybe not that many, but it's close. I was watching Mind Games, and that is the same exact premise. Don't get me wrong, I love Lifetime movies as well. It's just funny how some of the same classic plots get redone over and over.

You know, when Hollywood finds a formula that works, Hollywood overdoes that formula! Thanks for sharing.
